Does any company sell the TP1320 pre solered with Deans? I don't want to have my first attempt at soldering at a lipo if you know what i mean.
I'm sure if you looked around on the net. You could find a company that would... But it's really not that bad... If you know how to solder it's pretty straight forward... Biggest thing is to make sure you don't short out the pack... I've soldered up 5 of these packs and haven't had a problem yet.. getting ready to buy another this weekend because I accidentally left one plugged in, in my Mini T and it fried it.. I just use some electrical tape and tape one lead down to the table don't strip it or anything... pre-solder your connections on the deans connector. ( meaning put a dab of solder on the deans connector before you try to attach a wire to it, It makes life 100 times easier. because instead of you trying to hold the deans connector, wire, solder, and iron all with your 8 hands, u just need to heat the solder back up on the connector and stick the wire in. ) .. Use a pair of alligator clips if you have them to help hold the deans in place a pair of pliers helps to hold the alligator clips when soldering the connections... Go slow take you time and do one at a time.. You'll do fine.. Don't get yourself all worried before you do it, be assertive and know you can without any problems... I'm not the greatest with a soldering iron nor very graceful with it but if i can do it you can do it.
